Obamacare – It’s a Tax

There’s no escaping it.

Restaurant chains in Florida are adding an Obamacare surcharge on customers’ bills.

So now you can see how much of your purchase is going to fund the Democrats’ Un-Affordable Care Act. CNN Money reported:

Several restaurants in a Florida chain are asking customers to help foot the bill for Obamacare.

Diners at eight Gator’s Dockside casual eateries are finding a 1% Affordable Care Act surcharge on their tabs, which comes to 15 cents on a typical $15 lunch tab. Signs on the door and at tables alert diners to the fee, which is also listed separately on the bill.

The Gator Group’s full-time hourly employees won’t actually receive health insurance until December. But the company said it implemented the surcharge now because of the compliance costs it’s facing ahead of the Affordable Care Act’s employer mandate kicking in in 2015.

“The costs associated with ACA compliance could ultimately close our doors,” the sign reads. “Instead of raising prices on our products to generate the additional revenue needed to cover the costs of ACA compliance, certain Gator’s Dockside locations have implemented a 1% surcharge on all food and beverage purchases only.”

That’s the only thing you post is crap. Your political view can’t be found here because you only talk trash. If stupidity was trash you would be a landfill.

Tough.

Of course you are “subsidizing” the restaurant. ACA is an expense of the restaurant doing business. They are just being honest about what part of your purchase goes to that specific expense. No different that CO putting signs on gas pumps saying how much of the price of gas is federal and state taxes.
